Most surfaces look best with the regular formulation of ProtectaClear. The regular formulation of is practically invisible on polished metal. If you want a satin finish on unpainted metal, it is better to polish the metal to a satin finish and coat it with the regular ProtectaClear. ProtectaClear is not thick or plastic looking.

There are times that you want to protect the surface but do not want any shine or a very slight shine. One example of this is a patina on metal.

Satin ProtectaClear is custom mixed so we can work with you to create the perfect sheen for your project. ProtectaClear with a Satin Finish has a slight sheen. ProtectaClear is also available in a Matte Finish upon request.

Make sure to mix the coating well before use to insure even coverage.

Also, please tell us what your project is so we can include the correct instructions.
